TÜV NORD GROUP Earth. Insight. Values.
Starting with help during exploration projects to feasi-
bility studies at all levels of detail or technical assess-
ments during acquisition processes, all the way to the
role as consulting engineer during the development
and start-up for the owner or credit issuer. Creating
investment security for all stakeholders remains the
main focus of our expert teams. And this is exactly
the reason our clients state for our preeminent position
in the market.
Only an independent company like DMT can provide
uncompromising and flawless consulting and assess-
ment services in every phase, contributing to the se-
curity of all stakeholders. Please read our declaration
of competence as a promise of additional quality.
When independent professional assessments
of mining projects are needed, DMT is in de-
mand all over the world. For instance in order
to secure financial transactions such as pro-
ject financing, company M&A, or to create an
independent report to support an initial public
offering.
Everything concerning the entire range of
geological and mining consulting and engin-
eering know-how.
DMT provides an integrated service package of tech-
nical support and consulting for all participants in the
world-wide raw materials market: mining companies,
banks, credit institutions, potential investors, as well
as governments, law firms, and insurance companies.
We provide our world-wide network of subsidiaries
and partners with a service spectrum for the entire life
cycle and value added chain of active mining and
downstream activities.
The mining industry is complex, demanding, and
requires major investments. As one of the leading mining
service groups in the world, we have been passing on our
experience in the consulting, financial, and engineering
area since 1737.

The first-class training and education of our employ-
ees ensure our standards, even and especially when
projects come with tight schedules and there is no
room for errors. Our QM systems and our health, safe-
ty, and environmental management systems are test-
ed or certified in accordance to local and international
standards (e.g. DIN EN ISO 9001, ISO 14001; SCC).
Our philosophy is based on close cooperation with our
customers and the active transfer of know-how. This
creates outstanding results and long lasting trust from
our clients becomes the norm.
We also adhere to local and international techni-
cal standards at the highest level. We understand the
technical, functional, and legal aspects of international
reporting codes such as JORC, CIM/NI 43-101, PERC
and SAMREC.
Beyond that we go that extra mile to exceed expect-
ations and generate a competitive edge for our cus-
tomers with innovative approaches.
DMT services include the creation of studies and as-
sessments for project development, resource and re-
serve estimation according to international guidelines,
detailed engineering planning, support during the
construction, start-up, and all other phases of a mining
operation. And we ensure security in handling risks,
e.g. due to landslides, rock pressure, water and gas
leaks, soil movement, and seismic activity.
We determine raw material resources and reserves
and their quality, ascertain their profitability, and opti-
mise operations at a level that requires a deep under-
standing of the subject.
World-wide and locally, with locations in Canada,
Germany, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Peru, Russia,
South Africa, Turkey, and Great Britain. As an impor-
tant subsidiary of the TÜV Nord Group with more than
10,000 employees, people expect the highest results
from us, without exception. We usually set ourselves
superior standards than expected in our clients'
specifications.
“ The higher the expectations, the deeper one's understanding must be.”
Security and success through know-how

Only then can a mining project meet the expectations
of all stakeholders, returning an attractive return on in-
vestment whilst identifying, managing and mitigating
all risks.
Based on this conviction (and our experience), we un-
dertake numerous research and development projects
in cooperation with various universities and institutions.
For instance as partner of the European Institute of
Technology (EIT), we pursue many international R&D
projects for the development of existing mine survey-
ing systems into an automated and remote-controlled
mine inspection system for great depths or new, ef-
ficient, and environmentally friendly underground ex-
traction processes.
This is how DMT maintains its high quality and innova-
tion standard. We use high-end systems in comput-
er-aided modelling and simulation technology, as well
as our own, patented technical solutions like our geo-
physical and geodetic surveying systems.
You can rely on our innovative gene to ensure that you
can achieve the highest level of planning security and
thus investment security in all your modern mining
ventures world-wide.
Our accumulated expertise is enhanced by a wide
range of specialised methods, ensuring your predict-
able success. In addition to legal and contractual ob-
ligations, you can also count on the quality and safety
standards of our own group at all times. This way you
always know you are safe, especially when it really
counts. After all, quality is non-negotiable in our area
of service.
Quality, innovation, sustainability, and new technical
solutions are increasingly becoming a competitive
factor for everything that drives our business world,
for meeting the ever more stringent requirements for
modern technologies and progressing digitalization
but also requirements for climate and environmental
protection and social acceptance.

From the first meeting, DMT’s project management
services help you in all aspects of your venture.
From the start phase of exploration and feasi-
bility, design, and construction monitoring to
management, development, and optimisation,
all the way to mine closure and environmental
rehabilitation.
In order to realise the financial and technical results of
preliminary studies and plans, we employ a standard-
ised and integrated approach for project management
and monitoring. This ensures overall optimal results.
Our process engineering ensures the smooth trans-
port of all material streams and goods in a mine and
the optimal preparation of raw material extraction all
the way to the final product and the management of
the raw materials. And in ongoing operations we keep
everything under control with modern software solu-
tions for process management and monitoring of tech-
nical operations and systems, even under difficult cir-
cumstances.
For instance, for complex monitoring we provide
our own software, DMT SAFEGUARD, a data based
system for data acquisition, analysis, and online publi-
cation meeting modern requirements for mobility
and availability.
DMT SAFEGUARD controls and manages measure-
ment technology, communications, reporting, and ear-
ly warning and alarm sequences. Whether data need
to be collected and archived more than 1000 times
per second or whether the data describe gas content,
temperature, water level, vibration, or video: we de-
sign, install, and operate project-specific solutions
and systems for all requirements.
